...the earth and that causes any object to fall toward the earth. tween two bodies varies directly as the product of their masses and inversely as the square of the distance between their centers. Gravity is measured by the term we call weight. It acts uniformly and...

...statement that every particle of matter attracts every other particle with a force which varies directly as the product of their masses and inversely as the square of 'the distance between them. Thus gravitation was brought into the domain of science. The second book was...

...that any two bodies (or strictly "particles") attract each other with a force which is proportional to the product of their masses and inversely as the square of the distance between their centers.1 If Newton had lived after the Principle of the Conservation of Energy...

...gravitation, which asserts that two particles attract one another with a force varying directly as the product of their masses and inversely as the square of the distance separating them. It is quite conceivable from the purely logical standpoint that there might...

...represented by weight. LAW OF GRAVITATION.—The mutual attraction beteen two bodies varies directly as the product of their masses, and inversely as the square of the distance between their centers of mass. Example, doubling this product doubles the attraction; doubling...

...particle of matter in the universe attracts every other particle with a force exactly propor66 tioned to the product of their masses, and inversely as the square of the distance between their centers. The centuries of astronomical research since Newton's day, however,...

...readily be shown that masses will be driven toward each other with a force which will vary directly as the product of their masses and inversely as the square of the distances between their centers, except in the case of extremely small masses and extremely large masses....

...the gravitation between two material particles is represented by a stress proportional in magnitude to the product of their masses and inversely as the square of their distance from one another, being independent at any instant of the motions of the particles and...

...Newton's law of gravitation is that any two bodies attract each other with a force that is proportional to the product of their masses and inversely as the square of the distance between them, or F=G <P where G is a constant called the constant of gravitation. To understand...
